SMOKING TIGERS
So Young Shelly Yo, 2023, USA, Korean/English, 85 min.
Following her parents’ divorce, Korean American teenager Hayoung spends her time bouncing between two very different households. Terrified that her daughter will end up at a dreaded "state college,” Hayoung’s mother forces her to enroll in an expensive summer SAT boot camp. Meanwhile, her father, an easygoing door-to-door carpet salesman, lives in a storage unit and couldn’t care less about his daughter’s academic proficiency. Hayoung’s depressing summer takes a turn as she lets the popular girl in class copy her answers on a test. Suddenly, she is part of the cool crowd and is invited to their nightly house parties. Desperate to keep up appearances with her new luxury car-driving friends, Hayoung steals expensive clothes from her father’s clients and pretends to live in a suburban home. (James A. Burkhalter)
